The research institute has always had more students than mentors.
The top mentors at the Engineering Institute are even rarer.
Thus, it’s always up to the mentor to decide whether to take on a student based on their potential and performance.
Not all students can have their own mentor after passing the entrance assessment.
Generally speaking, a mentor can only effectively teach a maximum of three students at a time to fully utilize resources and enhance skills.
Mo Feng only has Bier under his mentorship.
His abilities are indeed impressive, with many students striving to become his apprentices.
Even without a personal mentor’s guidance, Ying Zijin has already reached this level.
Mo Feng is very confident that with his guidance, the Engineering Institute’s development will be unstoppable.
It is evident that Ying Zijin’s influence and status far surpass Bier’s.
Even before returning to the Leaangle Family, she was able to acquire a ticket to the Lorentz Auction House.
Now she is the only eldest young lady of the Main House.
With such a noble status, only the eldest young master of the Yuh Family can compare in social circles.
"Got it." Ying Zijin handed the experiment report to the window, "Excuse me."
Mo Feng didn’t move aside. He frowned, "Classmate Ying, I know that my past attitude towards you has led to a misunderstanding."
"But you should know, there is no mentor in the Engineering Institute with more knowledge and skills than I have."
High-standing figures like Dean Norman and a few esteemed academicians do not take in students at all.
"Instructor Mo Feng, I acknowledge your capabilities." Ying Zijin looked up, her eyes cool, "But your character, I don’t appreciate."
"Having a utilitarian mindset is a good thing, but if you are completely utilitarian, maybe you should change professions."
Mo Feng’s expression changed slightly, turning a bit red with agitation.
Norman has also made similar comments to him before.
He never hides his utilitarian nature, treating first-class and second-class citizens differently.
But being directly admonished by a student, Mo Feng felt only embarrassment.
He took a deep breath, "Classmate Ying, I apologize to you. You can’t make your future and development a bet just to spite me."
"If I take you as a student, I am confident I can make you an S-level researcher within six months."
When Ying Zijin said she had a mentor, Mo Feng didn’t believe it.
"Here, this is a problem provided by my teacher." Losing her patience, Ying Zijin casually tossed a paper, faintly, "See if you can solve it first."
Mo Feng immediately took it, full of confidence, "Very simple, of course."
But after reading the problem, his expression gradually changed.
The question on this paper was clearly a critical issue regarding the core power device of the Cosmic Carrier.
It had been listed as one of the three major problems of the Engineering Institute twenty years ago.
Not to mention solving it; he might not even have the ability to bring it up.
Holding the paper, Mo Feng’s fingers trembled.
It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, leaving him cold all over and unstable.
The only ones who could present such a problem were...
He immediately thought of Dean Norman and the academicians.
Mo Feng suddenly looked up, pale and stunned, "You..."
"I’m sorry, Instructor Mo Feng." Ying Zijin put on her hat and smiled slightly, "I used to recognize your capabilities, but now it seems that’s all there is to it."
"You’re not qualified to be my teacher."
The girl gathered her documents, shouldered her bag, and walked out.
Mo Feng stood frozen, his mouth opened, unable to utter a single word.
He felt paralyzed, his body rigid as if shocked by electricity.
The thought of Ying Zijin already being accepted as an apprentice by one of the most powerful individuals at the Engineering Institute made Mo Feng feel like a joke.
He might be the top mentor at the Engineering Institute, but he was nothing compared to Dean Norman and the academicians.
Mo Feng, his face gray and despairing, walked out of the compartment.
Due to the soundproof door, Bier did not hear what Mo Feng and Ying Zijin discussed.
But from her understanding of Mo Feng, he definitely wanted to take Ying Zijin as an apprentice.
Bier gritted her teeth, her fingers digging into her palms.
Losing her position as the eldest young lady was already something beyond her control due to birth circumstances.
But now, even her teacher chose Ying Zijin, completely disregarding her feelings.
Is capital really that powerful?
Bier felt consumed by frustration.
"Bier Senior, don’t feel too bad." A student tried to comfort her, "Classmate Ying, well, she’s not an ordinary person. The internet calls her a genius among gods."
"Let’s not compete, just do our best."
This remark only intensified Bier’s emotions.
She clutched her bag tightly, letting out a cold laugh, "What’s your status to lecture me? I insist on competing, so what?"
Without looking back, she hurriedly left, her figure quickly disappearing.
"Hey, what’s the point of saying that to her?" A female student rolled her eyes, "Before Classmate Ying was found, she would use her capital and status to suppress others."
